DARO Flooring Constructions partners with Plasti-Fab® for innovative radiant heating and floor leveling systems. In-floor radiant heating systems are one of the most energy efficient ways to heat a building. Now, builders and architects can choose an even more sustainable and cost-saving radiant heating system with DAROTopp® Floor Systems. DAROTopp is a flowing synthetic topping for interior floors in both residential and commercial buildings. When applied over radiant heating systems, DAROTopp is lighter, requires no reinforcement, and has higher thermal conductivity than concrete or other conventional toppings. DARO Flooring owner Robert Danninger uses Plasti-Fab DuroFoam® insulation as an underlayment for almost all their radiant heating systems. “When we apply our topping over radiant heating, we want the heat to transfer upward through the floor topping and into the building,” said Danninger. “That is why we use DuroFoam insulation beneath the hot water supply lines—to create a thermal insulation layer that greatly reduces heat loss downward through the subfloor.” DAROTopp is also used in conjunction with DuroFoam insulation to level floors in existing buildings. DuroFoam insulation is easy to handle and fabricate on site, and because DAROTopp has three times the flexural strength of concrete or other conventional toppings, it can be applied directly to DuroFoam insulation without any reinforcement. “We have handled projects where a slab has been as much as ten …
Creatherm S45 Radiant Floor Panels – Snow Melt Application 3/4″ PEX
The Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel System is an easily assembled modular board insulation, vapor barrier, and radiant tube holding grid. It allows for simplified installation of hydronic radiant floor heating systems in basements, garages, main floor slab on grade and above grade installations where concrete or gypcrete is normally used. Each interlocking panel, available in either 1 inch or 2 inch thicknesses of Expanded Polystyrene, covers up to 8 square feet with fasteners for 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″ and 7/8″ radiant tubing. A 10-mil High Impact Polystyrene film thermoformed on to the EPS Foam provides the vapor barrier. Visit www.crete-heat.com for further information. Proudly made in the USA. *****ADDITIONAL NOTES REGARDING VIDEO***** Laying of the panels showing the ship-lap interlock backwards was due to a last minute request to videotape. Some of the panels were taken up to begin videotaping that segment again and the panels were from the end of the building where the last panels were installed,resulting in what showed the ship-lap being backwards.Proper install is with the male half of the ship-lap facing upwards and the female portion connecting into it as the panels are installed. First time users loved this product. The project called for 2″ of insulation but the Crete-Heat Panels, which were donated for this job, were only available at the time in 1″, so the other 1″ insulation was used underneath to obtain the 2″ overall thickness.
